Limited story size
Why is the story size limited to 2047*2047 pixel?
I am creating software-simulations and all of our employees and a lot of our customers are using 4k monitors. So I would love to create those simulations in 3840x2160pixel.
I know it scales up, but it looks awful as all elements created in Storyline itself (text, svg-graphics) are sharp and all screenshots are blurry.
Why is there a limitation at all?
Please change that.
the size of images (PNG, JPG, GIF) is limited to 2048x2048 pixels*, so Storyline adjusts the size of the image to this size - but this does not apply to SVG
so you can wrap your PNG screenshots into svg**

'* PNG with 3840x2160 will be resized to 2048x1152
'** the PNG will be encoded as Base64, which increases the file size by 33%

Hi Jürgen,
Thank you 😀 - it works.
File sizes are not an issue, as I am only working with a few screenshots (the rest is a mockup created within Storyline).
I believe the 2048 is an Active X limitation.
ActiveX? The early 2010s are on the phone and they want their sad, Microsoft-centric tech back. 😆
